| - Perhaps I'm just the neighsayer of the group here but I've got to think as a brewery in Phoenix we can all do MUCH better. Lets start with the name...why on Earth would you name your brewery Bad Water - beer is mostly water and I certainly don't want to think about anything bad to do with my beer's ingredients.
Next thing, there are 3 beers offered here and of the three, well actually no, they're all really REALLY terrible. There's an IPA, and I love IPAS, but this one is lacking in hops, nose, flavor so basically a poor man's hopped water. The saison is equally bad with an overly alcohol forward, almost acetone-like flavor which overpowers the nice belgian yeast you're looking for in this style and then the lager. Well, that's the best one and I don't even like lagers as a style but it's the least offensive beer they have.
Sure there are guest taps (Uncle Bear's, Angry Orchard, maybe an Oak Creek Hefe), but there are much better beer bars in the area - Craft 64 to name one standout. Also, there are some nice tables and decent cheese boards to enjoy here. So if you don't like beer, you might like it here? Honestly though, its a brewery and they are doing a disservice to the awesome AZ beer scene by calling themselves that. Go to Goldwater or Two Brothers, you'll be glad you did.
